When we began our Therapeutic Feeding Program for “severely wasted” children, we…

Several months ago, we were shocked to hear that as many as 50,000 ethnic Nuban people (mostly Christian) were still trapped in what remained of Sudan’s hollowed out capital, Khartoum. Considering the war had been going on for a year and a half at that time, and Khartoum was basically leveled, we were sure most…

For the Christian refugees fleeing to the comparative safety of the Nuba mountains, many…
